Where the word boiler is used, it needs to be read as the boiler including its connecting ducts, ducts and terminals, if any.
This European Standard covers gas-fired central heating boilers from the types C1 up to C9 and the types B2, B3 and B5:
NOTE For further background information on appliance types see CEN/TR 1749:2014."
